<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this is more
a mailscanner issue than mailwatch hence the posting here. I am having trouble
getting mailscanner to save files in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine with the
correct user:group. In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf I have
set:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>However when I run
MailScanner it always saves files into the quarantine dir owed by
postfix:postfix. I am running Mailscanner V 4.28.6, Suse 8.1 and
Postfix.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>In MailScanner.conf
it does say that it may not be able to chown to another user if it is not run as
root. Are there any problems running MailScanner as root? I generally do not
like running services as root and if I can chown a file quite happily using the
postfix user why cant Mailscanner?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
